About Us

Theory Studios started off as a hypothesis...

Could you build a studio where anyone could work from anywhere in the world?

Co-founders David Andrade and Mark Olson have combined over 40 years of experience in visual effects, animation and production. Frustrated with an industry that was constantly relocating top talent, the two artists came up with an idea: what if we took the best talent from all over the world put them under one virtual roof?

Fast forward to 2013 and the co-founders started Theory Studios, the world's first virtual animation company. Since then we've produced animated shorts for Frederator, and worked on hit shows like Silicon Valley, The Good Wife, and The Man in the High Castle.
